Yes.

That's the answer I've been looking for! :)

Thanks

what would be the proper url to sbutmit?

I've tried everything but it still doesn't work

this problem is really going to drive me crazy
when I run Sitemap Generator I get this:
and when I go back to the vBSEO Sitemap Reports page it shows as the attached pic
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...7&d=1209676127

and when I press on the link that gives me this sentence:
Sitemap file not found

so what's wrong?

and why it gives me the link ends with sitemap_index.xml not with sitemap_index.xml.gz as it should and as it is with the other people?


is there anyway I can get it work?

MissKalunji,

you should submit http://yourforumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz


Super Jinni,

please PM me your vbseo_sitemap URL/password so that I can check that.

check your inbox

Thank you

and now i upgraded vbseo and all sitemap Failed :-/

Any idea? i did the modification oleg gave

Oups, here is the right thread ...

So, how is it possible that the file sitemap_index.xml.gz is in root whereas all the others ( sitemap_x.xml.gz) are elsewere? Google demands the index to be in the root, but its impractical to have 30-40 files in the root. :)

Super Jinni ,

replied to your PM.


MissKalunji,Please open a support ticket on vbseo.com.

Exposed_Bone,
it is possible using rewrite rules in .htaccess file.

Is it easy for you, to give me more details?

Thank in advanced

what is he asking is if your host or you can create an .htaccess file (i think in the root) in it you can put your rewrite rules for vbseo.

It's usually done with (i did) notepad and just name it .htaccess and upload

some host doesn't support it

when is a version compatible with 3.7.0 going come out?

Current version is compatible with vB3.7.0.

hi all!

after installation i had the problem with

Google Notify NO
Yahoo Notify NO

Google FAILED
Yahoo FAILED
Ask FAILED
Moreover FAILED


so i replaced the part in vbseo_sitemap_functions.php
as described in:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=491

after that everything was ok at the beginning:
Google OK
Yahoo OK
Ask OK
Moreover FAILED

now, when i want to access teh vbSEO Sitemap Reports, after typing in the password, i get this erros message:

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_sitemap_functions.php:1) in /vbseo_sitemap/index.php (Row 38)

Any ideas??

Thank you!

re: moreover

please try this: http://www.vbseo.com/f77/all-pings-f...50/#post142796

Most likely you have edited the file incorrectly (added a few extra line breaks at the top or at the bottom of file). Try to reupload file from the package and apply modification again.

damn it..yes

i tried the thing with breaks and extra lines a few times before
now i did the replacing with old style EDITOR and it worked :)

thank you jojam! :)

Does this work with the final 3.7 the one that is released now?

hi guys,

I upgraded to vb 3.7

now when I run sitemap generator,

it does the run like usual
and at the bottom of the report it says

database error

Any Ideas? Please Help

Please check this: http://www.vbseo.com/f5/vbseo-sitema...didates-22747/

I know this. I ask how to make this rewrite rules :)

in the zip file you have all the info you need on how and what to put

I checked the files and didn't find anything related. However my question is:
All the search engines require the site index to be in the root folder.
However vbseo creates it in www.company.com/[...]/vbseo_sitemap/data.
How can I change sth like that? There isn't even an option from the admin panel.
Also, would it be possible to only have the index in root and not all the zipped files, in order to reduce the file clutter in the root folder.

There's an .htaccess re-write that makes them appear at the root level.. check it out.

Eric

Should i edit the .htaccess located in the root?

It depends if you already have an .htaccess file in your forum root... look at the readme in the docs folder, there are installation and upgrade instructions. I think the part you want is this:

B. Enable rewriting via .htaccess (vBSEO Users skip this step):
Upload the vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap .htaccess file (located in the 'htaccess' folder) to your forum root.

Note: In some operating systems, the .htaccess file is not visible. If this is your case, find the htaccess.txt file in the same folder, (1) upload it to your forum root folder and (2) rename it to .htaccess.

Note: If you already have an .htaccess file in your forum root, DO NOT upload the vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap .htaccess file as it will replace the contents of this file. Instead, enter the following code in your 'forum-root/.htaccess' file at the bottom:

hope this helps!
Eric

Perfect, it is work ...

1000 thanks

nevermind.... found the answer

Is this mod also compatible with 3.7.0 ?

Yes.

I am using Zoints, is that works on me ??

Hi there -

I have followed all of the directions and when I have it generate the sitemap it seems to be generating it, however it is not writing it to my sites root.

This is on a clean install of 3.7.0 and a new site. We are in the process of getting the site set up and running.

Here is what I see when I run the sitemap generator.

The report details are showing this:

The issue is that the site map is not being saved to the root, it is not being saved anywhere.

I have the chmod set to 777 on the data folder, I checked my providor to make sure they support mod_rewrite and they do. I have the .htaccess file set up just like this:

Any idea why the sitemaps are not being saved to the root?

It's not designed to save them to the root. Read the instructions - that's why you need to add lines to .htaccess - the files are saved to {forum_root_}/vbseo_sitemap/data/

The files named:
sitemap_1.xmp.gz
sitemap_index.xml.gz
urllist.txt.gz
are being saved in {forum_root_}/vbseo_sitemap/data/

This is the exact /htaccess file I am using. Am I suppose to change something here?

My site is www.argoswow.com
vbulletin is in the www.argoswow.com/vb - I am using vBAdvanced with its index.php in the root of my site and the forums index.php is located in the /vb.

Do I need to put specific patch information into the .htaccess?

Your sitemap looks ok: http://www.argoswow.com/vb/sitemap_index.xml.gz

WHen I submit that to Google - it comes back showing status of ERRORS and is not submitting any links.

Sorry to sound new to all this.

What exactly is the error you get? Click "details" to find out.

We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.


I get this error with both www.allaroundkc.com and with www.fastfoodphooey.com but the www.argoswow.com seems to be working.

What is your .htaccess contents in both cases?

They are all the same

Try to add this line:
RewriteBase /
